Publisher's Summary
At Balaclava Agricultural College, a kidnapping and pig-napping are followed by murder....
Newlyweds Peter and Helen Shandy are picking out flatware when a pair of gun-toting hooligans burst into the silversmith’s shop, empty the safe, and leave with Helen as their hostage. Although the police recover Helen quickly, her professor husband is badly shaken by the ordeal. Early the next morning, the college’s head of animal husbandry frantically reports another hostage situation in progress. Belinda, the school’s beloved sow, has been kidnapped, and only Peter can bring home the bacon.
There is a possible witness to the pig-napping in Miss Flackley, the farrier, but before she can point Peter towards the vanished porker, she is found dead in the barn’s mash feeder. By the time Peter discovers the link between the two heists, pigs may really fly.

"Great story, narrator stumbles"
Any additional comments?I love this series and this title is particularly good, but the narrator needs work. There's a group called The Vigilant Vegetarians which the narrator keeps saying "viligant" - no such word!

"Flackley's Have Always Been Farriers"
I read the Peter Shandy mysteries around the time they were first published in the late 1970's. The audio books are as entertaining for me now as the books were many years ago.
Even though they experience some rather harrowing events. the Shandy's maintain their composure rather well. They are alarmed, but not panicked. They use their intelligence and logic to solve the mystery puzzle they encounter. They also do it with a good dose of humor.
This story is populated with funny and unique characters. I had a smile on my face most of time I was listening to the story. I often chuckled, and from time to time laughed out loud. This is gentle humor, not at all like the edgy and profane humor that is so prevalent now.
If you are looking for an easy, relaxing story, one that you can listen to while you do chores around the house, this is a good choice.0 of 0 people found this review helpful
